Chapter 374
Jixiang absolutely refused to let her leave the manor, so Yunxi had no choice but to go to Duan Huaichuan.
Without saying a word, Duan Huaichuan went out and returned shortly afterward with Doctor Feng.
Doctor Feng recognized Yun Xi and greeted her with a cupped hand, saying, "We meet again, esteemed lady."
"I don't deserve such praise," Yunxi said. "Please have a seat."
Doctor Feng acted swiftly and immediately stepped forward to take Yunxi's pulse.
Duan Huaichuan sat to the side, his face showing barely concealed worry.
After a while, Doctor Feng said, "Your health is good, but it seems that you have been taking too much tonic. You need to stop immediately."
Jixiang asked, puzzled: "Wouldn't it be better to eat more supplements or something?"
Supplements are all good things, and Jixiang has heard that pregnant women should take more supplements, so why should she stop taking them?
Could he be a quack doctor?
“Too much of a good thing can be bad, and I’m afraid something bad will happen,” said Doctor Feng. “If you trust me, please stop taking those tonics immediately.”
Yunxi nodded slightly: "I understand."
She had originally planned to find an opportunity to stop taking the supplements, but now that Doctor Feng had said so, it seemed she couldn't delay any longer.
"I've been feeling very sleepy lately, and I don't feel refreshed when I wake up. Why is that?"
"Most pregnant women experience excessive sleepiness, which is normal," Dr. Feng said as she packed up her medicine kit.
Ji Xiang quickly stepped forward and lowered his voice, saying, "Doctor Feng, to be honest, we are in a secluded mansion, and we are afraid that we will be ambushed. Do you have any way to investigate carefully?"
Upon hearing Ji Xiang's words, Duan Huaichuan's pupils contracted.
plot?
Yunxi's life... is it really that difficult?
His gaze was fixed intently on Yunxi, but Yunxi was looking at Doctor Feng nervously and didn't notice.
After listening to Jixiang's words, Doctor Feng pondered for a moment and said, "If Your Excellency is still worried, then I will investigate further."
After he finished speaking, he took out a silver needle from his medicine box.
Duan Huaichuan promptly handed over an oil lamp.
After passing the silver needles over the fire several times, Doctor Feng said in a deep voice, "It will hurt a little, Your Excellency, please bear with it."
After saying that, he took the needle and inserted it into the acupoint between Yunxi's thumb and forefinger.
Yunxi hissed softly.
Doctor Feng quickly took out the silver needles and placed them in the light.
A faint bluish tinge appeared on the originally smooth silver needle.
Doctor Feng frowned: "They have indeed been poisoned."
Upon hearing this, everyone in the room immediately tensed up.
Duan Huaichuan asked instinctively, "What kind of poison is it? Is it serious?"
“It’s a chronic poison. The person who poisoned her controlled the dosage perfectly, so it’s not serious yet,” Doctor Feng said. He couldn’t help but sigh, “However, the person who poisoned her is really ruthless. They chose to poison her when she was pregnant. If she hadn’t been alert, I’m afraid my trip would have been in vain.”
Yunxi and Jixiang exchanged a glance.
Ji Xiang stepped forward, slipped him two silver notes, and respectfully saw him out.
Inside the room, Yunxi looked down at her hands, lost in thought.
Duan Huaichuan, who was usually calm and collected, couldn't sit still any longer: "Xi'er, the Marquis's mansion is so dangerous, are you still not willing to leave?"
Yunxi's thoughts were interrupted by him, and she said helplessly, "Brother Huaichuan, I'm pregnant, where can I go?"
Duan Huaichuan pursed his lips, but couldn't say anything.
Yes, she is pregnant.
Even if I were to leave, it wouldn't be now.
But the backyard is so dangerous, how could Yunxi possibly be a match for that young mistress?
"Thank you so much for today, Brother Huaichuan. I have to go back now," Yunxi said, standing up. "By the way, have you used up the money I gave you last time?"
Duan Huaichuan shook his head: "Not yet."
Yunxi sighed and took out another silver note from the purse at her waist: "I brought you some more. Don't be stingy with it. This silver was given to me by the Yun family. They owe me this money."
